Episode 2493: [Part 2] Laziness is Not the Issue by Eric Teplitz

Eric Teplitz has had a lifelong fascination with human motivation, creativity, personal development, and living an inspired, rewarding, and positively impactful life. To this effect, he routinely undertakes challenging endeavors that intrigue him and impel him to grow. He has recorded an album of original songs and started his own record label to put it out into the world; acted onstage in community theater productions; backpacked over 500 miles of the Appalachian Trail; completed numerous half marathons, marathons, century rides, and triathlons (including an Ironman triathlon, after three attempts); volunteered hundreds of hours in a hospital playing music for patients (and their families/visitors/hospital staff); overcome a long-standing aversion to needles to become a regular blood donor (for nearly ten years and counting); and is the author of over 100 posts on Eric’s Inspired Living Blog. He is passionate about helping others open themselves up to a more expansive sense of what is possible; overcome resistance to following their interests, passions, curiosities, and dreams; and achieve a greater sense of meaning, purpose, and life satisfaction.
